cant see pages

I have set up the server (with a dial up modem), using zoneedit and direct update for the IP updates on my work computer. I have a Domain Name that I purchased via web.com. I updated the name servers to show the zoneedit info. I can see my page in AOL when I enter www.thetimberrecycler.com I can also see the page when I access it from my home computer (not on a network) also a dial up. However, I had a friend try to see the page who is on MSN with DSL and they get "page is under construction"? I also tried to see the page via the surf hiden sites and I also ge the "page is under construction"? I log in with different info for home and office, so I cant figure out why???????

Running a server on dial-up? That's not a good idea.

Dial up isn't a good idea because the bandwidth is very low. You should wait
untill you have DSL/Cable/T1 before trying to host a website on your own. :-)

I agree with Trustpunk. You can't have your server online 24/7 either, since it would be too expencive.

Right now we get free aol for the next 2 months. We are just in the process of design of the web pages/set up right now. DSL wont be in the building for an estimated 3+ months :-(. So until then I wanted to get everything working correctly. Do you have any ideas why some people cant see the pages (per my initial post)????

Tell your friends to clear their cache in their browser and try again.
If that don't work, see if zoneedit name servers are configured correctly.

Will do, however when I go to the http://www.the-cloak.com/login.html link and try to see my page it also says that the page is under construction?

It seems your domain registrar isn't getting the updates from zoneedit.
Check zoneedit's or DirectUpdate's FAQ for info.
I don't know if you properly configured DirectUpdate or not, so here's a tutorial
to glance thru... http://www.dslwebserver.com/main/sbs-directupdate.html

BTW - Several times since lastnight, I get a time-out when trying your domain.
Maybe I just have bad timing.

I shut things down when I leave currently, so you would not be able to see the pages. I dont get any errors from direct update or zone edit. What is odd is that I can view the pages from home (dial up/aol) with different log on info than my office (which is also dial up/aol). But if I go to a hidden surf site and try to see my page I get the error "page is under construction" Also, if I go to a computer that is on DSL I get the same error? Server is now up, Direct update is running so if you would like to try again???

It could be a Firewall thats blocking us from entering your server. Configure
your Firewall or try a different port such as port 9000 and see if it works. :/
